Changing background/font color/font size etc 1

[loganswell]

Hi,

I'd like to make my web pages viewable by visually impaired people without compromising the layout of the site. I gather large yellow text on a black background is best.

So basically I'd like to be able to have a button which the visitor can click and the text that is already contained on the html page will be re-displayed in the desired font etc?
I'm not sure that this can be done in client side scripting and have a nasty feeling that in order to re-display a page I'd have to use server side scripting (ASP)?

Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in anticipation )

Hi

It sounds like a server-side solution to me.

An easy way to do it would be to have a booelan value telling you if you should have a large font-set or not, and then do an If-test, and include one of two possible stylesheets based on the result.

Well, it can be done with JavaScript/CSS.

Success!

Hi Dianal,

This does look very promising )

Thank you - I've d/l the script.

I'd just like to let Dianal know that using this technique worked beautifully!! On behalf of myself and the visually impaired, thank you so much for that! )
